Stanley Steamer

Senior post Sara Stanley scored a team-high 16 points against UTA including going 8-8 at the charity stripe, a mark that puts her in a tie for first all-time in North Texas history for single game free throw percentage (minimum eight attempts) . Her deadly accurate free throw fury throughout the season has vaulted to her fourth in the Sun Belt Conference in free throw percentage at 87 percent.

Pressing The Issue

Under the tutelage of first-year head coach Mike Petersen, the Mean Green is pressing throughout games forcing turnovers and creating steals at a record pace. NT is averaging 12.3 steals per game, three steals above the Division I average of 9.2 and at the current rate, the Mean Green is on the verge of breaking the school record of 370 steals set in the 1987-88 season.
